Have you ever been denied water on a flight?
 
I have read several reviews of people requesting water on a flight and being told that the flight was catered with only one bottle of water per customer. These customers were flying with AA in First Class. Has anyone experienced this with any airline?

Only you Wally.

This was an anamoly. Catering screwed up. It happens on all airlines.

Give it a break.

Hello Wally,
We just returned from DFW-CDG in Business class. Not only was there plenty of water (I'm like a camel), they gave each person a bottle of water which they regularly refilled from a larger container. I haven't experienced the reports you've received.

WHAT???? Wally asked for water? As in "non-alcohol"? What is this world coming to, sigh...

This year I only flew SouthWest, water and sodas were unlimited, with or without ice. Somebody asked for tomato juice, they don't have it, but OJ and apple juices were unlimited.

I'm getting comments that say when American flies to another country, they bring the return flight food with them to avoid purchasing food from another country. Is this true? It must be true about the "snack packs."

No. But I only travel AF.

I fly AA between Costa Rica and the United States a few times each year. On the SJO-MIA or SJO-DFW flights, many of the products (juices, milks, canned sodas, bottled waters) are Costa Rican. I can see the containers on the carts.

Wally-my airline has us going through economy every 20-25 minutes with glasses of water on overseas flights and always making sure that business class has their little bottles of water full at their seats. Now "potty passes"-that I limit to 4-5 a person..........
